White SS - 1978 - A Mercy Killing 7''

Bit of an odd one this. Atrocious cover, atrocious name and an even more atrocious dress sense ! You would be forgiven for thinking it would be some racist claptrap. Instead you get a paean to youthanasia 'A Mercy Killing' over a semi acoustic jazzy track sounding more like Caravan. The same applies to the last track 'Pornography' which has extra weird noises to boot. The middle track, the live 'I'm The One', is the pick of the bunch. A fuzzed up psychedelic rocker. All very strange if you ask me and sounds like musos disguised as punks. Released on White SS Records 1978. Weird!
